Just as the Muslim rule was established in Kashmir without much bloodshed, so was Islam spread throughout the length and breadth of the valley by Peaceful preaching and lucid persuasions of Mir Sayyid Ali and hundreds of the Sayyid missionaries who came from Hamadan and other parts of Persia".  Thus the Islam in Kashmir has its own indigenous character. The majority of Muslims deeply revere and love their faith, at times quite fanatically. There had been attempts to reconvert Muslims of Kashmir to some other faith, as they had been Hindus and Buddhists at various times, even by Maharaja Gulab Singh, the founder of the present State of Jammu & Kashmir and Dogra dynasty, who ...
